Several people are feared dead in a raging war in Esa Oke, Osun State.

“There’s a war going on in Esa Oke between Ilesha people and Esa Oke indigenes,” a worried source said in a distress message to News Express.

“Ilesha people want to crown in a king in Ido Ayeginle in Esa Oke, but the indigenes are strongly opposed to it,” the source said.

He disclosed that the disagreement degenerated into a war this Monday morning, February 3, 2025.

Video clips in the possession of News Express showed gun shots, panicking residents and dead bodies on the streets. We are however unable to publish as we have a policy of not publishing dead bodies.
